Ok, All you guys that have seen the quilt I put in the county fair, I need your input. Someone wants to buy it. What kind of price tag do you think I should put on it? I know it's hard to tell without really seeing the quilt itself but I need opinions with just a general idea on how to price it.
|
How many hours do you have in it?
|
I'm have no idea how much would be "fair" but I do know the price will never really be enough for something that beautiful.
|
Gosh, I have no idea. I would work on it and lay it down, think of something else and go again. All in all probably at least 100 hours. I know I'll never get enough to pay by the hour does anybody who hand quilts? But, I'm sure I have put in at least that.
|
I have no clue what to put on it for a price.
It sure is beautiful! I am doing on...posted a picture of it and charged them $100 for making it and then the price of my fabric/batting. If I were selling yours, I'd probably put at least $500 to it at the minimum........ |
That is kinda the price I had in mind. I had someone say at least 800. but this is a small rural town where a lot of people quilt. I guess it just depends on how much someone is willing to pay for it. I hate to start too high and not sell it but I hate to start too low when I could get more. Aybody else got any ideas?
|
I've seen the hand quilted quilts go for anywhere from $700 to $1000 and up. It's easily worth that.
|
I'd be tickled pink if I could sell it for that kind of money. I had thought 800 but was afraid I'd scare someone off. It would almost tempt me into going into mass production! :lol:
|
I would start at $750, unless it won a ribbon at the fair. If it won a ribbon, especially the blue ribbon, I'd start at $1,000. You can always negotiate it down, if you really want to sell it badly enough. Just don't make your work too cheap. Even at $1,000, you're only making $10 an hour.
|
The price should be the amount you would pay to buy the same quilt. I sell items for the price I know I'd be willing to pay someone for them.
